I love KidPower. They have incredibly useful material on their website so I used what they kept online in my kids and teens martial arts classes for some time. With all of the news recently about bullying, many of the parents want to empower their children in a healthy manner. I want the same for my daughter. I decided to go all in and buy the manual and I seriously wish I had done so a long, long time ago. Great tips on how to run and promote a workshop, detailed instructions on activities with alternatives for age and caregivers' presence or absence, responses to potential questions--this has it all.
